Boycott would just have reached his 100 if he had been batting.

Nah screw it - just keeping going for the hell of it to show how stupid this pitch was. Get a thousand.

You certainly have to at least let him have a shot a Lara's record. Never likely to get this chance again.

That didn't last long!
Should declare now, no point in getting the bowlers in to bat and get tired - they are fragile enough anyway without the extra unwanted work

That wonderful piece of commentary curse was brought to you from the Lara household .....

I'll take "Pakistani openers having money on losing" for 100 please.
And Chris Tavaré would still be in single figures.

Friend of mine bowled at him in a Nat West game in the late 80s. Gave up a 150 to him.

Having got that one right on Jeopardy, I'll now take "Entire Pakistani team having money on losing" for 200.
49-4 - England couldn't do it could they? How can the pitch change? Is it a betting conspiracy???

59-5 Pakistan are in serious danger of being the first team to lose by an innings after scoring more than 500 in their first go .
Interesting fact courtesy of BBC Cricket - For the first time since the 1911-12 Ashes series, England have had two bowlers take a wicket with their first ball in the same innings.

Turned into a remarkable test match
Seem bowlers getting movement out of the pitch and very good control from Leach in his first

Not been watching for the last hour or so. Just had a quick glance at the BBC Sport website.
Are Pakistan going all Spursy?

England might only need three more wickets as @Ahmed is not playing as he is ill .

How much is down to the bowlers which begs the question why could neither side bowl like this in first innings or are Pakistan simply throwing it away

I've seen some crap adverts over the years but the one they put up for that Pakistani tea really takes the biscuit. Well actually I only want the biscuit. The people they put in front of the camera are the worst actors since Mrs Browns Boys.

I don't think the pitch has changed, I would suggest that Pakistan felt under pressure to bat out the rest of the match , I would say they put the pressure on themselves ,and it didn't help losing a wicket first ball when he was castled.
